US Foods Inc., operating through its Raleigh Division and doing business as U S Foodservice, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence division to supply beverages and subsistence items to Department of Defense facilities. The contract, valued at $4.9 million with a ceiling effective through January 6, 2031, was awarded on January 7, 2026, with no set-aside designation utilized. As a child contract under the larger DLA prime vendor support initiative, this IDV enables US Foods to deliver subsistence products on a just-in-time basis to military dining facilities and government customers, leveraging the company's established capability to supply frozen and chilled food products, meats, seafood, dairy products, and non-food supplies across multiple geographical areas.
